18-year-old gets 13 more years for shooting 17-year-old girl in Buena Vista Township

SAGINAW — An 18-year-old will serve more than 13 years in prison for an April 16 shooting in Buena Vista Township.

Saginaw County Circuit Judge Janet M. Boes on Tuesday sentenced Deandre M. Robinson to 12 years and six months to 20 years in prison for assault with intent to commit armed robbery and unlawful imprisonment.

The judge also sentenced Robinson, who last lived at 3183 Perkins in Buena Vista Township, to the mandatory two years in prison for possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony. Boes gave Robinson credit for 235 days served.

Robinson pleaded guilty to those charges in November and in exchange, prosecutors dropped charges of armed robbery and assault with intent to commit great bodily harm less than murder as well as separate counts of conspiring to commit those crimes and another unlawful imprisonment count.

Police have said Robinson shot a 17-year-old girl on Walnut near North 26th after he and Joseph T. Barnes robbed her and her friend. Barnes is scheduled for a Jan. 31 trial before Boes.
